The new bike/old bike conundrum

think about it this way, you finally got the bike set-up the way you like it, and when you get your new one, you pretty much need to start from zero again!

if the enw bike turn out to be even better, sell the dangermouse.

Keep 4 bikes:

Geek1
Geek2
Dangermouse
Moser

Flog the Monoc and the Raleigh...

That's what I'd choose in you're position...

Fair enough that you don't want to have all these bikes and not be able to ride them but you've gone to the trouble of getting two custom made Geekhouse bikes and they are YOUR bikes...

If you love Dangermouse then keep it and as for the Moser you can never sell it (unless it's to me)

:)

phone a friend

The monocle gets ridden the most miles out of all of them.
Just restarted ring road training for triathlon.
boring as shit, but its gotta be done.
so its not going until I need a replacement.

the moser will probabably be up for sale once I've finished with it.
But not sure tbh, may give it to my dad as a present.

You can never have enough cars.

You can never have enough chip pans.

You can never have enough naked sailors.

All sound all right to me. :)

I like the way you think.

And I definitely want the rossin that TDV have on Ebay at the moment.
I like ridiculous colored bikes.

I'd keep 'em all unless there was a major space crunch. Given the opportunity I can think of lots more types of bike I'd like to have beyond my two road bikes, Fuji and folder. At least an MTB, a bakfiets-type cargo bike and an old-fashioned town bike like a Pashley or a Hercules.

Sell them all to a scrap metal dealer.
Take photos as they are melted/scrapped
Post them here.
Cackle to yourself.

keep them all, and in a while get rid of the ones you don't ride

yup I'm not a sleeper.
I average 4hrs on a good day.
8hrs once a week and I'm good.

I dig.

The world is just too damn interesting.

But I've the same problem with waking up as I have with falling asleep, i.e. it's not my forte.

OH AND,

Keep as many bikes as you can afford and/or have room for. This is a healthy and ecologically-sound obsession. Better bikes than something less worthy.

Difficult to find a correct answer for this one. I've got a similar dilemma as my 25 year old much loved Tom Board frame has a broken rear dropout. I'm going to get that replaced but don't know whether to build it up again with 25 year old kit, which is in very good condition (Super Record, mostly) or sell the old stuff and modernise.
